IDIOT SIGHTING:
IDIOT SIGHTING:
My daughter and I went through the McDonald's driveway window and I gave the cashier a $10 note.
Our total was $9.25, so I also handed her another 25c.
She said, 'You gave me too much money.'
I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar coin back.'
She said excuse me, went to get the manager, who came out and asked me to please repeat my request.
I did so, and he handed me back the 25c, and said 'We're sorry sir, but we don’t do that kind of thing here.'
The cashier then proceeded to give me back 75 cents in change.
Do not confuse or upset the people at Macca's!
IDIOT SIGHTING:
We had to have the electric garage door repaired.
The repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large' enough motor on the opener.
I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower.
He shook his head and said, 'You need a 1/4 horsepower.'
I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4 and he said, 'Nooo, it's not. Four is larger than two.'
We haven't used that repairman since. Happened in Ipswich, Qld – the “Smart State”.
IDIOT SIGHTING:
I live in a semi rural area.
We recently had a new neighbour call the local council office to request the removal of the WOMBAT CROSSING sign on our road.
The reason: 'Too many wombats are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.'
Story from Healesville, Victoria.
IDIOT SIGHTING:
My daughter went to a Mexican takeaway and ordered a taco.
She asked the person behind the counter for 'minimal lettuce.'
He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg lettuce. From Bankstown , Sydney .....
IDIOT SIGHTING:
I was at Brisbane airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked, “Has anyone put anything in your luggage without your knowledge?”
To which I replied, 'If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?'
He smiled knowingly and nodded, 'Sir, that's why we ask!'
This reported from Elizabeth SA.
IDIOT SIGHTING:
The pedestrian signals on intersections beep when it's safe to cross the road.
I was crossing with an 'intellectually challenged' co-worker of mine.
I asked if she knew what the beeper was for. She said no.
I explained that it signals blind people when the light is green.
Appalled, she responded, 'What on earth are blind people doing driving?!'
She is a government employee in Adelaide GPO.
IDIOT SIGHTING:
When my husband and I arrived at a car dealership to pick up our car after a service, we were told the keys had been locked in it.
We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver’s side door.
As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked.
‘Hey,' I announced to the technician, 'its open!'
His reply, 'I know. I already did that side.'
STAY ALERT! They walk among us...
